Superman: Legacy won’t dwell on Clark Kent’s childhood
The Kryptonian hero’s early years in Kansas will not be in the film.
Now that David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have been signed, james Gunn can advance in the production of Superman: Legacy. The director already reveals on social networks that the scenario will not tell the young years of Clark Kent in Smallville. Childhood or adolescence in Kansas, already told many times on the big and the small screen, will not be in this new adaptation, which should start in Metropolis with a thirty-something Clark.
“I think we’ve seen enough of his origins by now!” respond james gunn to one fan before making it clear to another that there will be “no Young Clark” in the movie.
